The Race to a Six-Plate Deadlift

[bmontgomery87]

This was a couple weeks ago. Before I saw this thread. 455 lb lift! However I broke one of the rules:-/ after seeing this thread I am going to unstrap. This was my first time with a belt as well. I believe I was around 165-168lbs this day. So I'm pretty small.

you're gonna tear a biceps if you don't learn how to pull the slack out of the bar properly.

Got 585 off the ground today.........Couldn't quite pull it though!

I'm still very carb restricted & currently "cutting".
I'll pull it sometime soon....believe that!!!

I just pulled 485lbs for the first time!


I'll post a video on my channel in a few hours but I'm stoked! My previous PR was 445lbs conventional. I've been incorporating sumo pulls into my program and when I pulled 445lbs sumo style it still felt daunting. I hit 465lbs...then went for 485lbs. On my fb I've been getting feedback that my hips pick up to fast, any suggestions?

Gonna work some lighter weights tomorrow and see if I can nail this technique down and get better leverage on pulling.

how high did you get it up? time for some rack pull or block pulls! or have you heard of deadlift negatives? Haven't tried the yet because I'm on a body building program, but they're pretty interesting. You basically un-rack a ridiculous amount of weight from the rack then lower and pull. It's called a top down deadlift

[heavykettlebell]

More deadlifts today.. went a bit heavy this time.

[heavykettlebell]

did deficit deadlifts today

In on the elusive 6 plate deadlift thread!

Second month on 5/3/1. Here's a vid of Today's deadlift 3's week.

just throwing this question out there iv been stuck at 405X4 for a long time


whenever i got over 405 though it just feels like that weight is too much for my body and my back is going to snap and my tendons and joints are getting taxed too much anyone know this feel or have any tips for this

how long is a long time? it's hard to say. you may need to work on technique, but can you post a vid?

[heavykettlebell]

Did deadlift stance box squats. I also did some commentary.

[Xtian]

Set 3
435 lbs x 10

[heavykettlebell]

Committing to a 500lbs dead lift attempt tomorrow. Plus I do a 385lbs dead lift cold in this video.

[heavykettlebell]

F' yeah

[Clabuilder91]

I'm in! I pulled 440bs (200kg) for an easy single last week. I think I'm capable of pulling 220kg (484lbs) right now. Just have to add 40kg (88lbs) to my max to get a 6 plate dead.

[EHotch7]

Well, I just started this week... 250x2.
Only 345 pounds to go!
This is gonna take a long time

[Fit4lifelee]

Nice great thread

[Zackeryorr]

I can pull 3 plate, guess I have aways to go.

[poppasnow]

My current One rep max is 405

I weigh 175, and am ~5'7"/5'6" depending on whatever

My goal right now is 5 plate t 175, then eventually 6 plate at a lean 180


Going for a PR in 2 weeks

[Levitical1600BC]

F' yeah

I know it's late, but congrats on the milestone.

Starting Elliott Hulse's 5x5, ill begin with the beginner program and then move onto the intermediate by the end of february or after. Up until now i've been just creating my own workouts primarily strength focused with hypertrophy accessory movements at the end and i've only stopped doing this because my max on the deadlift at 3 plates has stalled.
I may post videos if I notice sticking points etc or if i hit any exceptional PR's, which wont be for awhile. Been deadlifting since March of 2013, squatting since septemberish, and benching since christmas.
Anybody else follow Elliott's programs?

I don't see myself going much over 165 without much fat, but a six plate deadlift would still definitely be attainable, even as a lightweight. I'm in. Just got over a hand injury though (couldn't really pick up hundreds of pounds with a torn tendon), so I'm basically starting back at 185, down from 385, but muscle memory is quite incredible.

[relentlesbtrfly]

oh wow this looks cool. soooo im definitely not the biggest deadlifter... but i did deadlift as part of my circuit this past saturday i had 45 on each side, so my starting weight is 135. altho the other time i seriously deadlifted they were 35's so 115 and theres a vid of it! and I earned myself a tshirt but yeah i guess 135 is my first new PR? lol. unfortunately im not the most consistent with deadlifting as of yet. probly if/when i get more into crossfit

[flimflammery]

Currently on ICF 5x5 and deadlifted 418 for 5 reps on Friday! I'm still using double over hand grip on all my deadlifts until I fail my first lift as the more double over hand you do the better your grip will get right? No need to do reverse grip if it isn't necessary right? Wish me luck on my quest monstrous proportions!

Super late but (yes straps)





both at 165 bw

[cl99finsfan]

Hit 385x1 two weeks ago at 172 pounds. I got a long way to go, but I also have got nothing but time. I'm not going anywhere anytime soon.
